不知道有沒有跟我一樣,還留著當年那隻『關鍵棒棒』的媽媽?
這是當年確定懷上老四時的驗孕棒,也是讓我們家走向幸福六口之家的『關鍵證物』!😊
「緊張、惶恐、擔憂、不安的情緒起伏⋯」,以上的情緒對大多數孕媽而言,可能是因懷孕改變體內賀爾蒙的正常反應,但對當年已經三十歲剖腹生三個的我來說,老三也脫離時刻更換尿片、餵奶階段,照理應該要開始輕鬆了,但面對這份乍然降臨「來自上帝祝福」,真的更為措手不及、難以忘懷的感受。
而如今⋯⋯
家中摩羯座的老大,很爭氣的考上公立高中,今年升上二年級的他,依舊是那個喜歡運動、音樂、英文、閱讀,知道很多爸爸跟我都不太了解關於這新世代的資訊;願意拿出自己的時間,來替家裡的歪踢頻道剪片,孩子呀!其實你一直很棒,也謝謝你,安哥!😉
剛成為國一新鮮人射手座的二哥,到目前為止都還是很喜歡每天早上上學,一直喜歡運動、一直很喜歡冒險、對這世界發生的任何事情,都保有無限的好奇心與想像力,剛開學就在班上交到幾位新朋友,成為第一任的體育股長,感覺得出來很滿意目前的狀態,而我則是很珍惜現在,他還會帶著沒長喉結變聲的聲音,出門前、睡覺前對我們說聲:「我愛你們!」🥰
而當年時不時把鼻涕掛在臉上的巨蟹座妮妹,喜歡偷穿我高跟鞋、拿著專屬自己的『公主麥克風』,在鏡頭前毫不保留展現自己、忘情唱著我高中同學王心凌「變成陌生人」的她,女孩子的成長就在瞬息萬變中,今年成為了高年級小六生的她,個性還是帶有靦腆,卻也開始流露出更多少女情懷的幻想與傻笑🤪是個超級愛動物的好孩子,整潔環境打掃的這件事上頭,也都很樂意幫忙爸爸跟我的,還會幫我切好水果,等我收工回家,始終貼心!😌
七歲小二的摩羯座老四呀!真的很感謝上帝,把妳帶到我們家,成為我們大家的可愛寶貝,雖然也因為妳的誕生,我的母奶時光從七年,又整整被拉長了三年,但只求你們四個都是平安、健康地成長,這一切對我而言「甘之如飴」;妳的任性與懂事、妳的調皮與窩心,還有妳那獨有、魔性般的笑聲與溫暖笑容😊⋯那都是幸福的象徵,也是讓我們更珍惜每一天的原因。
為什麼一大清早寫下這篇?要不是臉書回顧提醒了我,還真不知道當年的胎夢,居然可以那麼準😆
我依舊是一小點就會幸福感爆棚、很容易滿足的四寶媽維尼,祝福大家星期五快樂唷❤️

【國立臺灣大學 109學年度畢業典禮 貴賓致詞】
Commencement Address, National Taiwan University Commencement 2021
.
巨大集團 羅祥安前執行長
Giant Group Former CEO Anthony Lo
管校長,羅副校長,各位貴賓,畢業生的家長跟朋友們,還有今天最重要的2021年臺大的畢業生,大家早安、大家好!
首先恭喜你們,今天從全世界最優秀大學之一的臺灣大學畢業了!
在過去幾年,在管校長,以「大學教改」和「國際化」的理念,率領全體師生的努力之下,臺大在全世界的能見度,和各項排名,都有顯著的進步,也讓身為校友的我們倍感光榮。
是不是我們大家一起鼓掌,給自己鼓勵一下好不好!
你們今天剛剛畢業,但是你們已經創造了臺大一項新的紀錄:第一次,沒有傳統畢業典禮的畢業生。這將是你們人生一個非常特別的回憶,也預表了你們未來將會有與眾不同的表現,和非凡的成就。
現在的世界,局勢是在東方跟西方的勢力,彼此對抗而動盪不安。而全世界的經濟活動,也因為科技的突破性創新,而受到很大的影響。不盡理想的、不盡公平的全球化,也將逐漸地變成 全球在地化。而COVID-19肆虐全球的結果,使得臺灣跟全世界,大家的生活型態、社會的結構、經濟活動的節奏都被打亂了,而必須要加以全面的整理跟重新的架構。這當然是一個危機,但是更是一個絕好的機會。所以,將你們迎面而來的,是無數的創新的機會,以及冒險卻令人興奮的全新挑戰。
因為臺灣,這是第一次跟全世界各個國家,同步的站在一個嶄新的共同起跑點上面。所以我要恭喜你們,你們躬逢其會,將要進入一個充滿希望、嶄新的時代。
我是1969年從臺大畢業的,所以我想今天就以我畢業之後的50多年,人生的一些學習和體會,來跟諸位分享,給諸位作個參考。
當我大學畢業的時候,我滿懷抱負,迫不及待地想要大展身手,我當時進入臺灣最大的貿易公司工作,但是我發現我所學的很多東西,只有一些國際貿易的實務跟英文有用,至於其他我所學習到的經營管理的很多知識,恐怕都要等到10年、20年之後,如果我有幸當上高級主管才能派上用場。
更諷刺的是,我是商學系畢業的,但是工作兩年後,我發現我真的不喜歡做商人,我也不喜歡做生意,我有興趣的是做事業。
後來,幸好我有聆聽我心裡面的微弱的聲音,決定踏進自行車業,放棄掉台北最好的貿易公司的金飯碗,而去參加在大甲一個只有38個人的小公司,來追求我的夢想。
那時候許多人認為我腦筋有問題,頭殼壞去,但現在回顧回來,我當時是做了人生一個非常好的決定。
創業的過程飽受艱辛,但是我也學到了很多寶貴的經驗:我首先學到的,是在做事之前,必須要先學做人。
人必須要誠信踏實,不能自私自利,而要利他共好。
要隨時心存感恩,尊重、關切別人。要熱愛這個世界,並且要了解到一個人的能力是有限的,而必須要去建立互信、互助的人際關係;要融入群體、要發揮團隊的精神。
在做事方面,一定要以正面積極的態度,認真努力去工作。 而且不要怕失敗,要勇於接受新的挑戰。因為如果有失敗了,那只是代表說你又更靠近成功一步了。要作中學,學中作,要虛心好奇的終身學習,開拓挑戰、追求卓越。
在這裡,我想要送給大家一個很特別的畢業禮物,就是兩個「成功的錦囊」。
第一個錦囊:不管你做什麼工作,不論你職務的高低,永遠都要站在顧客的立場,來為他們設想,還能做什麼,讓他們能夠得到更多的創新價值。
第二個錦囊:無論作什麼工作,不管你職務的高低,永遠都要站在經營者的角度來為公司設想,要做什麼,才能讓公司更健康,永續經營跟發展。
既使你們把我後面講的很多東西都忘記了,沒關係,但是這個畢業禮物你們一定要記得帶回去,因為這些「同理心」的兩個錦囊,在未來會給你們帶來意想不到的祝福!
其次我體會到,名跟利都是副產品。正產品是你成為什麼樣的人,成就什麼樣的事。當正產品是對的時候,名跟利都自然會來。
所以我鼓勵大家在找工作的時候,不要太計較開始的薪水和待遇。因為事實上,一個新人,在前面三年是很難有大的貢獻的,反過來只是公司發薪水來給你培訓而已。所以選擇一個有意義的行業,找一家你可以學習進步的好公司,這才是重要的。
第三,我學習到 知識不等於智慧。諸位都學有專精,有很多寶貴的知識,但這些知識必須要實際去做才能夠產生經驗,而累積的時候會有不同經驗的反省、學習、跟體會,尤其是從那些失敗的經 驗,才能夠漸漸地凝結成有用的智慧。
我的成長過程分成三段,開始我是一個「I」型的人,我擁有一些經營管理的基本的能力。後來因為工作的需要和我的好奇心,我漸漸地學習到技術開發、製造生產、品牌推廣、全球經營、以及行銷、服務等等寶貴的經驗,這樣漸漸地,我就形成一個「T」型的一個跨界的人才。但是到了我真正找到公司未來的使命跟方向,並且把它跟我的人生目標結合在一起,熱情的、積極去推動的時候,那時候我終於成為一個「十字架」型的一個領導者。
當公司發展得比較穩定之後,我就面臨要如何來替公司規劃願景、使命、定位,跟長期策略。在這個階段,我有一些新的體會:首先,你必須要能夠畫出一個「黃金正三角形」,正三角形是最穩定的,上面是戰略,中間是戰術,下面是戰鬥。先要有正確的戰略,才能衍伸出有效的戰術,再根據這個戰術去貫徹戰鬥的執行。換言之,戰略就是做對的事情,戰術就是對的方法,戰鬥就是用對的方法去把事情做對做好,並且不斷地去持續改善。
想要能夠思考出長期的戰略,就必須要有洞察力。
我很喜歡看地球儀,就是那種在一個架子上面,有一個可以轉動的地球模型。當你把地球轉動的時候,你看到上面每一個地方、每一個國家,它的地理位置、它的自然生態,以及你思考它的歷史的演變跟它的發展,這樣子你就能夠得出一個整體的,跟全方位的一個概念。
在思考長期戰略的時候,很不容易得出一個有突破性的一個創見,它的原因往往是因為「當局者迷」的關係。
所以當我考慮長期戰略的時候,我會把自己設想,好像從一個人造衛星上面,來觀看一個轉動的地球。以宇宙格局的高度,以全球視野的廣度,以歷史演進的長度,這樣子你就能夠以一個「旁觀者清」的姿態和角度,來正面、反面深入思考,這樣子你就可能得到一個突破性的一個解答。「世界的捷安特」跟「全球在地化」的品牌經營—這樣子的策略、願景就是這樣產生的。
另外一種洞察力,是如何推出給人們有創新價值的產品跟服務。這就要時時地站在人文跟科技的十字路口,仔細觀察它們的變化,然後活用科技的進步,為人文潛在的需求,適時地提供最佳的解決方案。捷安特的Cycling世界,就是用這種方法,不斷的推出創新價值的產品。
我們在經營上也有發展出一個特別的理念,那就是「不求第一,要作惟一」。全世界的人這麼多,但沒有兩個人的指紋是一樣的, 所以每一個人都是獨一無二、都是惟一的。可見當上帝造每一個人的時候,祂都有衪特別的計劃,而且也把成功所需要的能力跟要素,已經放在你的心中,等待你取用。所以每一個人不應該只是模仿別人,或者是按照別人的期望來生活,而應該要找出並且發揮自己的天賦,真正做自己,成為惟一,才能夠活出精采的生命。
企業也是一樣,不能隨波逐流,必須要找出什麼才是對的,什麼是合適你的,什麼才是有意義、對這個世界有貢獻的,這個才是惟一。當你精益求精,努力的想要成為惟一的時侯,你才能夠找到真正正確的目標,以及永續生存的價值。如果事事都想為第一,那麼你可能去追求很多不切實際的目標,而被你無法承受的巨大壓力所摧毀。或者,因為不擇手段,最後走上一些錯誤的道路。
在長期追求惟一的過程當中,我也得到兩個重要的體會:當你決心做一件對的事情,而且不屈不撓,勇敢堅持奮鬥的時候,全宇宙的力量都會起來幫助你。另外,把一件有意義的事情,用生命的力量把它作好,你就有可能改變這個世界!
我鼓勵你們,聆聽你們內心深處的微小的聲音,讓它引導你們,去尋找到你們的天賦,了解你們的命定。
不求第一,要作惟一。做你真正的自己,成為惟一。活出你精彩的生命,享受你幸福的人生!
很多人說,生長在臺灣的人,一輩子裡面一定要完成三項挑戰:登玉山、泳渡日月潭、還有騎自行車環島。我覺得這非常有道理。所以我建議大家在畢業以後,在去當兵、就業之前,不妨參加一個自行車環島的旅行團,用九天的時間,仔細的去體會、欣賞寶島臺灣的美好,用自行車的輪胎去親吻,這塊生你長你的美麗大地,就當作是送給你自己的一個畢業禮物吧!
那教授們跟家長們,可能會想說,啊!太可惜了,我畢業的時候沒有騎自行車環島,我現在已經五六十歲了。沒關係,你這個年紀正好來從事人生的壯遊。
我們臺大的校長-管校長,在今年的一月份,就勇敢的完成他夢寐以求的自行車環島的壯遊。我們給管爺一個掌聲好不好?
有人認為臺灣很小、沒有前途,真的是這樣嗎?世界經濟論壇每年都要把全世界的國家的實力做一個調查跟排名。讓我們來看一下臺灣的排名。全世界有235個國家,就面積來講,我們排名第137;就人口來講,第57;就經濟體來講,第21;就整體競爭力來講,排名第11;而創新力,臺灣排名第4。沒錯,臺灣的確不大,但是我們很強,我們可以很有前途!
可預見的,未來的世界將會成為美、歐、亞三區鼎力的這個新局面。就像三個圓圈,各自都以自己的利益為優先,並且彼此長期的競爭、對抗和抵制,但是同時又不得不相互的維持一些必要的連結。而在每一個圈裡面,它將持續的有很多劇烈的改變,就像一個暴風圈一樣。而這三個暴風圈連結在一起,就形成一個所謂完全風暴PERFECT STORM。
最近經濟學人雜誌,把臺灣當作封面,稱臺灣為地球上最危險的地方,但同時又是科技業最關鍵的地方。我個人倒認為,未來臺灣可能是處在一個最有利的地位,就在那三個暴風圈中間的那個颱風眼,也就是這三個圈圈彼此連結交會的中心點。這個地方看起來好像危險,其實是最安全、最有利、又是最關鍵的地方。
當三個暴風圈無可避免的,參與在一個長期的競爭、對抗、跟抵制-這樣一個零和的賽局裡面。那臺灣並不屬於任何一個圈圈,也不需要去參與這些競爭、對抗跟抵制。而可以去想說,我可以在這個關鍵的中心點,替這個世界來提供什麼樣子的創新價值的貢獻。
臺灣過去50年的努力累積了很多技術開發、製造管理、金融資本,社會資源,以及民主法治體制,這些稀有而寶貴的實力。而且如果以全世界作為舞台,那麼,能夠精通中文跟英文、能夠深切的了解東方西方的文化;有專業,又能跨界,謙卑而不自卑,自信而不自大的臺灣人,可能是全世界最優秀的人才。
未來無法被預測,但是可以被創造!30年前,有誰能夠預測到說臺灣會產生世界級的台積電跟捷安特?
台積電秉持著作惟一的理念,以全球晶圓代工的戰略,厚植實力,打造了優質高效的供應鏈,把臺灣變成一個科技島。以臺灣為核心,轉動引領全世界的半導體市場。
捷安特也秉持著作惟一的理念,以世界的捷安特,全球在地化的品牌戰略,帶領A-Team把臺灣變成全世界高級車的中心,又積極的推動Cycling的新文化,把臺灣發展成一個自行車島,以臺灣為核心,轉動引領全世界自行車的市場。
在這裡我也期許我們臺大,也能夠以作惟一這樣子的理念,轉動引領世界,變成全世界最優秀人才培養的最佳搖籃。
未來的50年,臺灣將迎來前所未有最大的機運!所以臺灣是不是應該要脫離過去單純競爭的心態,而來積極的謀求長期的未來生存之道,或者更進一步要問自己:臺灣可以為世界貢獻些什麼?臺灣不應該只是消極的「根留臺灣」,而應該更主動積極的「放眼全球、立足亞太、深根臺灣」。
臺灣過去的50年,那是一個非常艱辛跟特別的階段。很慶幸的,臺灣在那個階段裡面,是屬於勝利的這一組。
現在是應該到了必須要了解過去、深入現在、策劃未來,這個重要關鍵的時刻。要如何的以宇宙格局的高度、以全球視野的廣度、以及歷史演進的長度,衡外情,量己力,來為臺灣重新的定位,重新畫一個正確的戰略、戰術、戰鬥的黃金三角形。讓臺灣能夠真正發揮自己的長處,能夠打造創新價值的優勢,成為惟一、做Only One!要能夠創造一個更安全、更廣闊、更興盛-全新的藍海。臺灣必須要成為世界的好公民,繼續的為全世界做更多、更好的貢獻!
2021的畢業生們,在你們當中有未來國家的領導人、有全球企業的創造者、有在社會各行各業、方方面面的核心人才,所以臺灣未來50年的未來,就掌握在你們手中了。
最後,我想用一位著名科學家的名言來作結尾: Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving. 人生就像騎自行車,要保持你平衡最好的方法,就是繼續不斷地向前進。
你知道這是誰的名言嗎? 沒錯,就是愛因斯坦!
2021的畢業生們,請你騎上你人生的自行車,勇敢的向前邁進,去開創你獨一無二、精彩無比的新生命跟未來。再一次,恭喜你們,並且祝福你們每一位,將來都能夠有健康、幸福、精彩跟有意義的人生!
謝謝!

==============================

President Kuan, Executive Vice President Luo, Distinguished guests, family, friends, and most importantly, the graduating class of 2021, good morning!
First of all, congratulations! Today, you are graduating from one of the best universities in the world – National Taiwan University!
Over the last few years, President Kuan led the university forward with his vision of “educational reform” and internationalization”. Together with all the faculty and students, NTU has made significant progress in both ranking and global visibility, making us, alumni, extremely proud.
I think we deserve to give ourselves a round of applause!
You are the graduating class of 2021 and already, you have set a new record for NTU: For the first time, there will not be a traditional graduation ceremony. Let this be a very special memory of your life and a sign of the difference you will make in your future with extraordinary achievements.
The world is now in a volatile state where the East and the West are confronting each other. The world’s economic activities are also greatly affected by the breakthrough and innovations in technology. The less-than-ideal and less-than fair globalization will gradually become global localization. And as a result of COVID-19, Taiwan and the rest of the world’s lifestyle, social structure, and economy have been disrupted, and must be comprehensively reorganized and restructured. This is certainly a crisis, but in the midst of every crisis, lies great opportunity. So, what lies before you are countless opportunities for innovation, and exciting new challenges.
Because, for the first time, Taiwan is standing with the rest of the world on a new race-track. Therefore, I would like to congratulate you, you are entering a new era full of hope.
I graduated from NTU in 1969. It has been more than 50 years and today, I would like to share some of my life experiences and insights.
When I graduated from college, I was filled with ambition. I couldn’t wait to make my mark. I joined one of the largest trading companies in Taiwan, where I quickly realized the only materials I learned in school that came in handy are a little bit of international trade practices and English. Much of what I had learned about business management would only be relevant 10 or 20 years down the road, if I was lucky enough to become a senior executive.
What’s even more ironic is that I graduated with a degree in business, but after working for 2 years, I realize I really don’t like being a businessman, and I don’t like doing business. What I am actually interested in is building an enterprise.
Fortunately, I chose to listen to the faint voice in my heart and decided to enter the bicycle industry. I left my position at the best trading company in Taipei to join a small company with only 38 employees in Dajia to pursue my dream.
At the time, many people thought I must’ve broken my skull and gone crazy, but looking back, I have made a great decision in my life.
The process of starting my own enterprise has been very difficult, but I have learned many valuable lessons. The first thing I learned is that before you can do anything else, you have to learn to be a person of good character.
We must be honest, down to earth, selfless, self-serving, and altruistic for the common good.
Be grateful, respectful and caring at all times. To love the world and to understand that one person’s ability is limited and that is necessary to build interpersonal relationships of mutual trust and support; to be part of a group and to play as a team.
When it comes to work, you must work hard with a positive attitude. And don’t be afraid to fail, be brave enough to accept new challenges. Because every time you fail, it just means you are one step closer to success. Learning is an active process. We learn by doing. We must stay open-minded and curious, aspiring to lifelong learning; to explore challenges and pursue excellence.
Here I would like to give everyone a special graduation gift, which are my two tips for success:
First, always put yourself in the customer’s shoes, regardless of what you’re doing or what kind of job title you hold. Think for them, think about what else you can do to create more value for the customers.
Second, regardless of what you’re doing or what kind of job title you hold, always think about the company from the proprietor’s point of view; what can we do to build a healthier company that’s sustainable.
Even if you are going to forget everything I say later, that’ ok. Just remember to take your graduation gift at heart, because these two tips on “empathy “are sure to bring you unexpected blessings in the future!
Later on, I realized that fame and money are merely byproducts. The real product is you, what kind of person you have become and what have you achieved. When the real product is identified, fame and money will come naturally.
So I encourage you, when you look for a job, don’t be too concerned about the starting salary and benefits. Because as a matter of fact, as a newcomer, it is very difficult to make a big contribution in the first three years, so really the company is paying to give you training instead. So choose a meaningful industry and find a good company where you can improve and grow, that’s what’s important.
Thirdly, I learned that knowledge is not the same as wisdom. All of you have learned a lot and have a lot of valuable knowledge, but this knowledge must be practiced in order to produce experience, and in the process of accumulation, there will be different experiences of reflection, learning and empathy, especially from failure, slowly and surely all these experiences will be condensed into useful wisdom.
My personal development can be divided into three stages. I began as a I-shaped person with some basic skills in business management. Later on, due to my job and curiosity, I gained respected experience in technology development, manufacturing, branding, global marketing, and service and thus gradually becoming a T-shape multidisciplinary professional.
However, when I combined the future mission and direction of the company with my life goals, promoting it enthusiastically and actively, that is when I finally became a X-shape transdisciplinary leader.
Once the company became more stable, I was faced with the challenge of planning the vision, mission, positioning, and long-term strategy for the company. At this stage, I had some new insights.
First, you must be able to draw a “golden triangle”, an equilateral triangle is the most stable shape with strategy on top, tactics in the middle, and operations at the bottom. In other words, the strategy is to do the right thing, the tactics is the using the right methods, and operations is using the right methods to excel on doing the right things while constantly improving them.
To develop long-term strategies, it is necessary to have insight.
I enjoy looking at the globe, yes, the spherical model of Earth that sits on a stand and can be rotated. When you rotate the globe, you can see every place and country on it, its geographical location, its natural ecology, and you can think about its historical evolution and development, so that you can come up with an overall comprehensive concept.
When thinking about long-term strategy, it is not easy to come up with a groundbreaking idea, because “men are often blind in their own cause”
Therefore, when I think about long-term strategy, I imagine myself as if I were looking at a rotating Earth from a man-made satellite. With the height of the universe, the breadth of global vision and the length of historical evolution, you will be able think about it from the perspective of an observer, and then you may have a breakthrough. This is how the strategy and vision of “GIANT for the World” and “glocalization” brand management came about.
Another kind of insight is how to introduce the products and services to create additional value to people. This requires standing at the crossroads of humanity and technology, observing their changes carefully, and then using technological advances to provide the best solutions for the potential needs of humanity in a timely manner. This is how GIANT’s Cycling World continues to introduce innovative values to its products.
We have also developed a special philosophy in our business, which is “don’t be the first one, be the only one”. There are so many people in the world, but no two people share the same fingerprints, making each person unique and one of a kind. God created each person with purpose and has gifted us with the abilities and elements needed for success. All of which is in your heart, waiting for you to take them. Therefore, we should not just follow each other’s footstep or live under the expectations of someone else. Instead, we should find and give reigns to our talents, to truly be ourselves, to become the only one and live a brilliant life.
The same applies to businesses, you can’t just go with the flow, we must find what is right and suitable and what is meaningful and contributive to the world, this is what it means to be the only one. When you strive for excellence and strive to be the only one, you will find the right goals and the value of sustainability. If you try to be first in everything, you may pursue many unrealistic goals and either be destroyed by unbearable pressure or resort to doing whatever it takes, and end up on the wrong path.
I have learned two important lessons in my long quest to be the “only one”. When you are determined to do the right thing and you are unyielding and persistent in your struggle, the power of the universe will rise up and help you. In addition, if you do something meaningful and do it well with the power of life, you may change the world.
I urge you to listen to the small voice deep within you and let it guide you to find your talents and understand your destiny.
Do not seek to be the first but to be the only. Be true to yourself and be the only one. Live your life to the fullest and enjoy your life to the fullest!
Many people say that growing up in Taiwan, you must complete three challenges in your lifetime: climb to the top of Jade Mountain, swim across Sun Moon Lake, and ride a bike around the island. I think this is very true. Therefore, I suggest that after graduation, before you go to the military or get a job, you might as well join a bicycle tour around the island and spend nine days to carefully experience and appreciate the beauty of Taiwan. As a graduation gift to yourself, let the tires kiss the beautiful land where you were born and raised.
All the professors and parents must be thinking in regret, “Ah! Too bad! I didn’t ride my bike around the island when I graduated and now I’m already in my 50s and 60s…” But that’s okay! You are actually at the perfect age to start your adventurous life.
Our President of NTU, President Kuan bravely completed his dream bike tour around the island in January this year. Let’s give President Kuan a round of applause!
Some people think that Taiwan is small and has no future. Every year, the World Economic Forum conducts a survey and ranking of the strength of countries around the world. Let’s take a look at Taiwan’s ranking. There are 235 countries in the world and we rank 137th in terms of landmass, 57th in terms of population, 21st in terms of economy, 11th in terms of overall competitiveness, and 4th in terms of innovation. It’s true that Taiwan is not big, but we are strong and we have a promising future.
In the foreseeable future there will become a new situation in which the United States, Europe and Asia will be the three focal regions. Just like three circles, each of which prioritizes its own interests and is in long-term competition, confrontation and resistance, but at the same time has to maintain some necessary links with each other. And in each circle, drastic changes will be endless, just like a storm circle. These three storm circles are linked together to form a so-called PERFECT STORM.
The Economist magazine recently featured Taiwan on its cover, calling it the most dangerous place on earth, but at the same time the most critical place for the technology industry. Personally, I think that Taiwan may be in the most favorable position in the future, right in the middle of the three storm circles, the eye of the typhoon, which is the center point where these three circles are connected. This place seems dangerous, but in fact it is the safest, most favorable, and most critical place.
When the three storm circles are inevitably involved in a long-term competition, confrontation, and boycott - a zero-sum game. Taiwan does not belong to any of these circles, nor does it need to participate in these competitions, confrontations, and boycotts. Instead, situated in this critical position, I should begin to think about what kind of innovative value I can provide to the world.
Taiwan's efforts over the past 50 years have accumulated many rare and valuable strengths in technology development, manufacturing management, financial capital, social resources, and the democratic rule of law system. If the world is our stage, Taiwanese people who are proficient in Chinese and English, who have a deep understanding of Eastern and Western cultures, who are professional, who can cross borders, who are humble but not inferior, and who are confident but not arrogant, may be the best talents in the world.
The future cannot be predicted, but it can be created! 30 years ago, who could have predicted that Taiwan would produce globally renowned TSMC and GIANT?
TSMC is committed to the concept of being the only one, and has built up its strengths with its global foundry strategy, creating a high-quality and efficient supply chain and turning Taiwan into a technology island. With Taiwan as the core, TSMC is leading the worldwide semiconductor market.
GIANT also upholds the concept of "Be the only one" and leads the A-Team to turn Taiwan into the center of the world's premium bikes with the brand strategy of globalization and localization, and actively promotes the new culture of cycling, developing Taiwan into a cycling island and leading the world's cycling market with Taiwan as the core.
Here I also hope that we, NTU, can also lead the world with the concept of being the only one, and become the best cradle for the cultivation of the best talents in the world.
In the next 50 years, Taiwan will have the greatest opportunity ever! Therefore, Taiwan should get rid of the simple competitive mentality of the past and actively seek the long-term survival of the future, or go even further and ask itself: What can Taiwan contribute to the world? Taiwan should not just "secure Taiwan" in a conservative way, but should be more proactive with global outlook and establish a foothold in the Asia Pacific.
The last 50 years, for Taiwan, has been very difficult and significant. Fortunately, Taiwan pulled through and came out as one of the winners.
Now is the crucial moment to understand the past, delve into the present, and plan for the future. We must take the height of the universe, the breadth of our global vision, and the length of historical evolution, weigh the external situation, and measure our own strengths to reposition Taiwan and draw the golden triangle of strategy, tactics, and operations. Taiwan should be able to give full play to its strengths, create innovative value, and become the only one! Taiwan must become a good citizen of the world and continue to make more and better contributions to the world!
Graduates of 2021, among you are the future leaders of the country, the creators of global enterprises, and the core talents in all walks of life, the future is in your hands.
Finally, I would like to conclude with a quote from a famous scientist: Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.
Do you know who this quote belongs to? That's right, Einstein!
Graduates of 2021, please get ready for your life adventure, get on your bikes and peddle courageously forward to create your own unique and exciting future. Again, congratulations and best wishes to each and every one of you for a healthy, happy, and meaningful life!
Thank you!

前些日子收到「日本」KLOOK的來信,希望我幫忙把KLOOK在去年底新增設的租車網站放到我部落格內的日本租車文章。當下我覺得蠻奇怪的,第一是我跟台灣這邊的KLOOK合作許久了,為何會有日本人請我幫忙,第二是現在又不能去日本,放個連結好像意義也不大。https://bit.ly/35ds23g
我原本想說加了連結可能也幫不上太多忙,畢竟現在根本沒台灣遊客會去當地旅遊,然後就不小心忘記了這封信件!但這位日本人接連寫了三封信給我,甚至還翻譯成中文,我感覺到誠意滿滿,很希望得到我的幫助,或許他們日本的公司也在為未來積極做一些準備吧!
我就用英文回信給他,並同意將連結置入到部落格文章之內,順便用日文感謝日本政府捐贈台灣疫苗這件事情。他很高興收到我的回信,並且用中文回覆給我「不客氣!這次我們政府決定了真的好。我們做了我們應該做的,希望台日關係越來越更好!」。
老實說,這段時間我的部落格跟粉絲專頁幾乎沒什麼收益,很多時候我都是在幫忙之前有合作的廠商出份心力,希望他們可以撐過這段疫情,從去年到現在甚至有很多都是友情贊助、免費宣傳,有時候我還自掏腰包買商品捧場,又或者自己花錢搭高鐵上台北開會。這段期間,我也看了好幾位先前長期合作的夥伴離職了,心裡有蠻多不捨,很討厭疫情把世界弄得失去原本的秩序,但也只能祝福他們能找到更好的一條路,畢竟大家都是為了養家餬口的這份薪水在努力著。
坦白說~我在兩家雙K旅遊行程票券的主力廠商,從2020年2月開始至今的收入是0,一毛錢的分潤都沒匯進到我的戶頭。因為去年初疫情突然爆發而取消了不少訂單,甚至讓我到目前的分潤金額仍是"負數"。之前日本觀光還是海外旅遊的主流,我的業績在雙K兩家廠商應該都是排名TOP5裡面的,這個粉絲團應該也有很多部落客在看,如果您知道疫情前我每個月是都可以拿到加碼獎金,甚至拿過LV3頂標的加碼獎金,就知道從我部落格的推廣成效是相當頂尖的。以前我的個性或許會因此而有點驕傲,但我現在覺得這一點都沒有什麼,因為這些都是過去粉絲讀者的大力支持,也是上天願意伸出一隻手幫忙,榮耀完全真的不在我個人。
我在這個時候要說這件事,並不是要炫耀過去什麼的,只是內心一直很好奇過去有這麼好推廣業績的我,這一年轉換推廣國內觀光卻總覺得成效很不佳,那這麼多旅行社從海外轉向國內行程美食,就算號稱增加了上千件的國內旅遊案子,真的有一定穩定的營收嗎?我著實地很為某些過去某些合作夥伴的公司感到憂心,畢竟國人對於國內的一些旅遊行程會覺得並不是那麼必要,除非說某些樂園門票有特別優惠之類的?
於是我這些時間多半就是義務性地幫忙曝光而已,收益真的就是0。期待太深、恐怕會讓自己傷得更深,後來我就直接不期不待了,有比較好的促銷案子,我就幫忙業者曝光一下,真的就是希望幫助他們都可以平安撐到疫情過後的那一天,我們能重新回到開心牽手合作的日子。
就這樣真的過了一年多,我終於在某些國內旅遊的案子推動比較成功了,比如說高鐵優惠聯票跟teamLab,我這邊算是推動蠻好的,廠商甚至主動提出免費名額車票抽獎活動希望贊助我的粉絲。那時候我還蠻開心的,開心的並不是有賺錢了,那一點點的收益真的只能塞牙縫,大概住間好一點的飯店都還不夠。我開心的是,經過了一年多,我開玩笑地跟老婆說系統內的收益金額終於不再是負數了,哈哈哈!我覺得我蠻能苦中作樂的。
結果呢~這個好心情很不幸地也沒維持太久,然後台灣的疫情就在五月中竄起了,當然這些好不容易賺進來的收益,幾乎全部都被退訂光了,我在粉絲團也呼籲大家先別返鄉過端午節,盡量避免搭高鐵做長距離的移動,共同防疫最重要。就這樣,我的系統收益又變成負數了。從期待到失落,到失而復得,然後又落空,您覺得我的心情會是如何呢?
其實有不少朋友問過我這個問題,我就坦白把這些事告訴他們,最後我真的就是"哈哈哈"大笑個幾聲,一點都沒把這些事情放在心上。我就是把這些都當作是BONUS,可有可無,有的話當然是很好,沒有的話也沒有關係,反正之後我會再努力回來的。萬事都互相效力,路不轉人轉,我覺得很多事情轉換個意念,搞不好上帝為你關上了這扇門,真的也同時會幫你開另一扇窗喔!
如果可以,希望同樣正在困難當中的您,也可以跟我一樣學習看淡很多的一切,反正日子都還過得下去,一切平安就好。不要害怕失敗,因為每次的失敗也都是一種學習。不要一直在看著重複的問題,轉換個眼光,轉個意念,或許可以把時間精力花在迎接新的挑戰上面。
每個人確實都有自己的困難要面對,包括經濟、夫妻、兒女、父母、健康、交友、工作...等等,光鮮亮麗的外表之下,不見得每個人在遇到挫折時都能突破自己心靈的那一道關卡,所以您可能也有自己內心的問題是需要親自去面對它的,人生本來就是這樣起起伏伏的,多少會遇到一些困境,我們要帶給孩子的,是如何在困境中不感到害怕,勇於挑戰的心態,進而學習成長。
因此,受到國內疫情而影響到現在生活的您,千萬不要被病毒給打倒了,您可以跟自己說其實國內這時候同時有很多人是跟你一樣都被影響到工作方式與收入了,您並不是最不幸的那一個,趁這段時間的沉澱或許可以讓您思考未來的方向、人生存在的意義是什麼、修復與家人之間的關係,甚至迎接新的挑戰。您並還沒有輸!能往正向思考的話,短暫的休息或許有機會讓您未來跳得更高喔!
即使部落格沒什麼收益進帳的我,這一年多以來還是持續地發文,不管是關注日本的疫情,或者給大家正面的鼓勵,又或者偶爾寫寫文章,也是為我自己的人生留個紀錄吧!並不是說沒錢賺了,然後就讓部落格荒廢長草了、就不管這個經營多年的粉絲團了,至少我不是這麼現實的人。如果能透過貼文分享我這段時間內心成長的心路歷程,能默默幫助到網路上的一些朋友度過內心的難關,那我覺得這樣很值得耶!我們都是在為自己人生而努力的喔,千萬不要放棄呢!
前幾天老婆去買了某間店的咖啡跟蛋糕回來吃,說要給老闆鼓勵一下。這間店家因為疫情都沒什麼生意了,竟然還主動捐贈很多飲料跟食品給醫院,幫醫療人員打打氣!
至少台灣的疫情並沒有像其它國家飆高到成千上萬那麼恐怖,至少台灣的疫情是在疫苗問世後才爆發,至少Rt值最近有下降到1以內,生活雖然不便、但至少還是有份薪水.....抱怨的人永遠都是在抱怨,那我們不如讓自己的內心充滿著更多的感謝吧!如果您還有一點能力,也試著多去關懷這個社會,幫助更多困苦的人,您反而是會更加快樂的!
我都跟朋友半開玩笑說我現在什麼都不是,說我一無是處也沒有關係,反正我現在本來就沒什麼好說嘴的,但能放下驕傲、重新學習謙卑,凡事用著感恩知足的心去面對,我發現我現在遇到任何的困難,內心竟然都能感到相當的平安,反正球來就打,問題來了就想辦法解決吧!
這段期間我也都是抱著這樣的心態去面對過去合作的一些夥伴,甚至某些案子我還主動提出我不要分潤、純粹就是幫忙,因為我知道旅遊產業的大家可能都背負著比我更加倍沉重的壓力,能彼此幫忙共度難關生存下來,才是我的原意所在。先前受到很多人的照顧,現在有困難我也能放下利益,盡自己的力量盡量幫忙。就這樣過了一年多,我相信這段時間我自己內心的煎熬是比很多人都還不好受的,但我依然好好地站在這邊,疫情越嚴峻,我不跟著媒體亂,反而越正面鼓勵著大家!
先前有一段日子我也對自己的人生規劃變得相當龐然不安,還好有些熱心的粉絲願意留言給我建議,我老婆超級稱讚這些忠實粉絲根本就是上天派來的天使吧!我也都有把話丟進我的腦袋去思考喔!
我真是蠻期待未來能重返日本旅遊的日子,即使是在那些曾經去過的景點,但再次踏上的心境肯定會不一樣了,每一次旅遊所得到的感受也會不同吧!或許我也能逐漸地能把更成熟的人生歷練跟情感帶入到旅遊當中,默默幫助到更多人的內心世界,不再是以追求物質豐富為主,而是那份能夠真正體會到旅行所帶給人們的內在力量,那份價值與回憶,那些讓自己眼界更加開闊的益處。
端午佳節愉快!
暫時無法返鄉跟南部思念的家人相見,現階段我們國人的任務都是必須先以共同守護台灣疫情為主,不要心存任何的僥倖。很多時候我們必須學習忍耐與等待,期待中秋能與心愛的家人再次團圓!台灣加油!
